# TempGuru Event Staffing Knowledge

This is the canonical Open Knowledge Format (OKF) bundle for **TempGuru**, managed
**W-2 event staffing** in **300+ U.S. and Canadian markets**. A catalog match is not live inventory or confirmed order coverage; a TempGuru coordinator confirms the specific order and final lead time after buyer submission. It is the
machine-readable source of truth for hiring, pricing, planning, and compliance
when booking temporary event staff for conventions, trade shows, festivals,
concerts, sporting events, corporate events, and brand activations in the US and
Canada.

_Publisher: Temporary Assistance Guru, Inc. (TempGuru). Canonical site: https://tempguru.co. Data version 1.0.0, updated 2026-08-18._

## Evidence-verified public scale

- **300+ U.S. and Canadian markets** (claim ID: `tg-claim-markets-300-plus-v1`). Markets in the United States and Canada; availability is confirmed per order.
- **5,000+ events** (claim ID: `tg-claim-events-5000-plus-v1`). Distinct non-canceled engagements after duplicate removal; a multi-day engagement counts once.
- **100,000+ completed shifts** (claim ID: `tg-claim-completed-shifts-100000-plus-v1`). Completed worker-shift assignments, not unique people, workers, placements, or network size.

The completed-shift figure counts worker-shift assignments, not unique people,
workers, placements, or network size. The configured city dataset is a planning
catalog, not a separate public coverage claim.

Every rate here is an **all-inclusive W-2 bill rate (worker pay, employer payroll taxes, workers' compensation, general liability, and coordinator support)**. Workers are W-2 employees, never 1099
contractors. Brand Ambassadors never bill below $40/hour in any market.

**Two layers.** This bundle is the **knowledge layer**, what TempGuru's roles,
rates, configured market catalog, compliance, and workflows *mean*. The MCP server and REST API are
the **action layer**, how an agent *acts*: plan, price, check compliance, and
prepare a buyer-operated quote handoff. Read here to understand; call the tools to act.

For **live, queryable** data, agents should prefer the MCP server at
`https://mcp.tempguru.co/mcp` or the REST API at `https://mcp.tempguru.co/api/v1`, this bundle mirrors the
same data for offline reading, indexing, and citation.

## How to use this bundle

1. Start at [workflows/plan-staffing.md](workflows/plan-staffing.md) for the end-to-end
   path from event shape to staffing plan.
2. Match the configured market catalog in [cities/index.md](cities/index.md) and resolve roles in [roles/index.md](roles/index.md). Treat a catalog match as planning data, not confirmed coverage.
3. Price with [pricing/rate-matrix.md](pricing/rate-matrix.md) (or the [Rate Index](rate-index.md) for a citable benchmark).
4. Flag state rules in [compliance/index.md](compliance/index.md), especially the daily-overtime states.
5. Choose the matching canonical workflow in [workflows/index.md](workflows/index.md), including event-document extraction and urgent backfill when relevant.
6. Submit through [workflows/quote-submission.md](workflows/quote-submission.md). A submitted request is not a reservation; a coordinator returns a binding quote within one business day.

Rate ranges in this bundle are **planning estimates**, not binding quotes.
